Not really a skill but...


point east
point west
point {object}


That would be a nice command to have, though it is not really a skill.

No need for something like this to be coded. It is done quite easily by other means.

smote points east
smote points west

I do realize you can do this, but it can be cumbersome.

I am suggesting the ability to point to things other than mobs or PCs.

i.e. directions, objects, etc.

Well, in my opinion this game is 100% text based. So when you are wanting to show your character doing something you are going to have to type it out. So I really dont see a problem with using Smote points at $troll other then simply point troll. Just kind of seems like a waste of the coders time. They have alot of other cool things they can be doing like coding areas and new things like that. Just take the extra 5 seconds and type out the smote.

If only the "$" could target items in the area or your inventory or items you are equipped with

Although it is a good idea Theillik... it might be combersum on us... but moreso for the coders and other stuff... Like making those newbie quests... so awesome!
